Hi Chris,

it's quite a while ago - June 8, if my archive search is correct.
http://osiris.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/06/msg00203.html

Have you tried running a current snapshot on this server? It looks 
like it might be the same problem that You and I worked on for 
quite some time between the beta-release and the RC-release - 
the one where the clientdata task terminated without any apparent 
reason. This mail started it: 
http://osiris.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/06/msg00279.html

If it's still an issue with the current snapshot, I'd like to see
the hobbitlaunch.log file also. And could you send me the output
from the "ipcs -m" command, please?


Regards,
Henrik

Hi Henrik,

A problem with hostdata that was raised some little while ago doesn't seem
to be resolved or listed as outstanding.

When running the server on an AIX 5.2 system with the hostdata task enabled,
client data is not written to $BBVAR/hostdata and the hostdata.log contains
the following :-

Looking forward to the 4.2 release - great work.
